What an amazing store. You could easily lose hours in here. They have all sorts of table games. Simple fun card games to the very detailed ones like Warhammer. They have all accessories you need, too. I would highly recommend this place for people of all ages. They even have a little kids game sections where some of the adult table top games have been recreated for our little role players. Go check it out.
Place was nice. Really wanted to buy a new table top game for the family, but I am new to scene. I tried to talk to the person that was working there but he just kept talking to what Im guessing are regulars. I ended up just leaving after waiting around for about 20 min.
I remember when this was near ASU. Its been around forever.Interesting mix of minis/wargames, CCGs, CFGs, RPGs, card and board games, and everything else.
Good atmosphere and great service. They are knowledgeable about their products and have such a variety of games!
They have a great selection of games and a super friendly and knowledgeable staff. Its awesome that you can play test a lot of games there or just bring yours to play (when not in pandemic mode). Highly recommend them for your board game needs.
Wonderful store. Incredibly friendly staff. I can always find what I need and theres always something I want. So glad to have a LGS in my neighborhood.
If youre a retro gamer, this is a place youll want to come back too. They hold a large collection of games from previous consoles for purchase. Youll also find collectables, and a large bin of Legos youll be able to pick and choose from.
Great place to visit and support your local gaming store. TTRPG, miniatures, board games, collectible card games. Family owned, knowledgeable place. 1 star knocked off not because of the store, but limited distribution has made some products hard to get, and had led to some empty shelves and limited pre-orders.
I visited with a friend on a slow day after having not been here since before Covid. Didnt buy anything because was waiting on a paycheck, unfortunately. The place has weathered the pandemic well. Sure, the tables are off limits for now but the rest of the place is great looking still, and still has a pretty good selection. Im also liking that they sell Citadel paints for cheaper than most places Ive shopped. Will definitely be a customer in the future.
Large variety of games to choose from.And a large and beautiful dice selection!
Amazing place and friendly staff. Had everything I needed.
Great experience at this store. They atleast had everything I was looking for, and they were accommodating. I will shop here more, even though I live across the valley
I come here semi frequently to grow my board game library. The two owners(I think) are very quick to help and always are delighted to share a story. This place is a real gem and has a welcoming atmosphere to share their passion with the community.
Great service got a couple games nice place
The two owners of the store are amazing, very knowledgeable and great to have a nice chat with
There are some great gaming stores in Phoenix, but to my mind, Game Depot is the cream of the crop. Not just role playing games, but board games and collectible cards games, gaming supplies (that you cant find at other gaming stores) and a friendly and knowledgeable staff. 5 stars every time I go there.
While you can get these games for less online, that isnt why you go to a game store! Love this place!!!
This local business is the real deal. Friendly and professional staff, a wide variety of games, dice and miniatures, and a very clean environment too! Definitely recommend!
One of the best game stores Ive ever found every time I walk in they are always happy to see me and are ready for some fantastic gaming conversations The employees are amazing and the customers are also equally as enjoyable to be around One of the best places you can go to for tabletop gaming in general thank you guys for being an amazing place!
I asked them if they carried a certain card game that had recently been revamped that they hadnt heard about. 5 minutes later and they told me that they would have it by the end of the week! Talk about customer service!
This was a nice surprise and a very cool place to visit. It has a little bit of something for everyone, from paintable figures, to a wide boardgame variety, to deck builders, collector items, etc.. the list goes on. The people there are super helpful as well pointing out sales and clearance, informing about promos and upcoming events plus new releases. I would highly recommend this place for newcomers and veterans.
Incredibly nice and helpful people. I had to go back in for a return just 5 minutes after I purchased something and they helped me out.
I have been going to the Game Depot since it was nestled on Forest Ave north of Arizona State University back in 1995. Dave and Patti are like my 2nd family and I have LOVED shopping and supporting them for almost 3 decades. Knowledgable, friendly, warm, caring and willing to order what you need if they can. Great people. Shop small!!!
Great selection and very knowledgeable
Have been going here off and on for almost 15 years. Love this place and the staff are great.
Great store, great owners.
Great people easy to find what you want I will go back for sure
Love this game store! The owners are super friendly, welcoming, and knowledgeable. This is our favorite place to shop for new board games/expansions.
Very friendly staff. Didnt have what we need but referred us to another shop. Appreciate your service.
We had a great time shopping here, the folks there were super knowledgeable about dungeons & dragons lore and figurines. They also had good recommendations as far as paints and handling miniatures. The staff was friendly and accommodating as they could be given the covid-19 social guidelines. They also had a really cool competition of who could paint a red dragon figurine the best. Some of the local entries were amazing, I liked R23. Kicking myself because I forgot to take pictures!!! Doh!
Best customer service youll ever find. My daughter left her cowgirl boot behind and an employee searched the parking lot and found it when I called. When we went back they had put a package of cookies in the boot for her. Oh, and they sell excellent games too.
Always friendly, always fun, I love this place.
I spent hours here! So much fun stuff! There really is something for everyone! The owners take the time to talk to you and make a recommendation or help you find just what you are looking for. Amazing culture and amazing prices!
Ive been going to Game Depot for the past 15 years. Dave and Patty are some of the friendliest and nicest people Ive ever met. From the moment I walked in at 12 years old Patty was busy welcoming me in and actually talking to me. She then went out of her way to introduce me to people playing Warhammer, the game that brought me into the store. This has been my experience throughout the years at Game Depot. Game Depot has been a store where Ive made alot of very good friends that are dear to me and it has also helped me reconnect with friends from when I was younger!The store has an extensive inventory from hobby stuff to board games to card games. On any normal day, youll have players playing on the tables and there are always events and leagues going on.Whether youre looking to make new friends, find the next competition, or have a place where you can meet up with your friends to play some games and have some great fun, Game Depot is the place to be!
We have been going to the Game Depot for years. The owners are amazing and truly know everything about games. They will take the time to help you find something or leave you alone if you wanna browse. Best game shop in AZ.
If you are into tabletop gaming, this is frankly the best place in this side of town. The owners are super friendly and helpful. The selection is always fully stocked and diverse. If they dont have what you want, they have resources to get what you want! Theres no comparison honestly. Couldnt recommend enough for new gamers and veterans alike!
The owners give great advice and can help you make a selection. Best Game store in the area.
Been going to Game Depot the past 4 years, there is not a better tabletop/hobby shop in all of the valley! Ive driven all around the valley to check them all out and Game Depot always has them beat. Great selection of miniatures, paints, tabletop games, MTG, dice etc. Best part of the store is their back table that has some gem board games on sale, and the owners are absolutely wonderful and caring people. They will go above and beyond to make sure your experience is great. They once even took my name down to reserve a miniature for me they knew they were getting in, every other shop I have been to has a first come first serve but they really care about their customers. Thank you, Game Depot!Support local business!
Been going to the Depot for decades. I mostly make Dave order what I want. Some of the stuff he ends up selling and some he just looks at me and shakes his head. But he is always nice about ordering it.He also has good recommendations if you ask him.
Been going to the Depot for 30 years, always a great time!
The few times I have been here the staff have been extremely friendly and helpful. It is obvious they are passionate about games and helping others find something they will enjoy. There is an awesome selection of games and accessories here. They also host lots of events, though I have yet to attend any. While some things might be a bit cheaper on amazon, you cant beat the quality of care and investment from the people who work here. It is worth it to support your local shop!
Great local store and great customer support
Seriously great! Great selection, super nice owners, had a great selection of fun stuff on sale for the holidays. Thanks to them I brought the best gift for the white elephant exchange!!! Go here!
Friendly staff, great selection, fair prices. My go to place for all my board game needs.
Great game store Dave and Patty are so awesome and welcoming. Fun store to do Magic events at when we get back to having those.
Best store in AZ for tabletop games. No question about it. The owners are so knowledgeable and friendly, and the people who play there are welcoming and patient with new players. I moved and dont go as frequently as I used to, but even when Ive been gone for months they remember my name and act genuinely happy to see me. Give them your business!
I love this place! The people there are always friendly, courteous, and ready to help.
Fantastic people and great variety of games. Support your local game store always!
Great friendly owners. I have been going to this store over a decade. From warhammer on the weekends to great board games.If your new to gaming they are happy to help you learn.
Always enjoy my experience here. Owners are nice and knowledgeable about quite a bit, more than I expected. Have a good selection and is always clean. Will continue shopping there whenever I can.
Watch your wording with the staff and be clear about what you need. I was trying to get ideas for wifes gifts; asking to see different products and it was a challenge speaking with one of the younger guys. I didnt know what was new in stock or what was new. A lady saw and came around to take over helping me. Found a great card box and dice bag.
These guys have some good items for sale which includes some unique board/card games. They have a space dedicated to playing as well. The shop is clean and organized. The owners are what gives this review 4 stars as an interaction is short and borderline rude.
Probably the best mom and pop shop I have ever been to. Not only are they very knowledgeable but they are also very nice and it feels genuine and like you are a part of the family. I love going to this shop even if it is just to enjoy the environment and say hello. Highly recommend going here for any of your tabletop needs.
I have come here many times over the past couple of years and everytime I come in the staff are always kind, respectful, and knowledgeable on many different games, tabletop or otherwise. I will continue to come here for all of my tabletop/ card game needs in the future.
Game Depot is sincerely one of the best places to go shopping. Between the wonderful store owners and the fantastic selection of games, one is never more than a moment away from a meaningful addition to their board game collection, but can also spend hours deciding on which one they want the most.
The owners Patty & Dave are extreamly sweet and helpful. They always made me feel very welcome and went out of their way to help connect me with other local gamers. I buy all my games and accessories here.
The owners are always fair, responsive on Facebook, and helpful. Recently I picked up a box of the much demanded Jump Start, they could have pulled my reservation and resold it for literally double what they sold it to me, but they didnt. I preordered two and they asked me if I could live with one so they could make sure other customers got their share of product as well. Totally fair, given the demand, and again they sold it at MSRP. Game Depot has been a responsible member of the community during the COVID crisis as well.
Great place for board games
Game Depot is the heart and soul of Phoenix area gaming and has been for decades. Ive been going there since I was a kid. Ive made friends there that have lasted a lifetime. Im middle aged now and as long as the door is open Ill be going.
Friendly and welcoming! My personal favorite local store
Game Depot is always a pleasure to visit. Im not even a gamer and I enjoy the place. The store is locally owned and usually at least one of the the family is there when Ive been in . Usually Im there with our family gamer, but even when Im not they are super helpful and friendly and dont make me feel like an out-of-the loop outsider. Highly recommended!
This game store is the best one Ive been to yet. If Im ever in the market for a new game I know I can come here and get recommendations and know whats currently the hottest game! Not to mention I can come in with friends and play our games there and relax as well as be included in tournaments. Anyone can come to this game store and feel included and have fun! Great environment and great people!
Great store, very large selection of awesome and bizarre games. I ended up getting a small, what was I am sure a less popular card type game about pit crews. To my amazement, the store owner was behind the counter and recognized the game a told me all about it. It really reassured my purchase was perfect for a family game, just what I was looking for. The owner clearly loves games and can help direct you to the perfect one. There was a whole room setup with a tournament going on, so looks like a great hangout place to play new games. I will be returning for sure.
Great selection of board and table top games of all kinds. Very nice staff who were helpful and nice to kids. A lot of interesting and obscure titles as well as more mainstream ones. They have tables to play games at with plenty of space.
Do not pay with card. I was double charged and my bank was unable to resolve the dispute then the owner said he isnt responsible if the bank cant resolve the dispute. DO NOT pay with card. The employee even said they are always having trouble with their system on the day I purchased. I shouldve known better.
Great store, friendly atmosphere, and knowledgeable owners. Love to play Friday Night Magic at this location. Whether you are 8 or 80, the owners and fellow players make you feel welcome.
Great selection of newer games mixed with classics and very friendly staff
This place has an amazing selection of board/tabletop games. I cant rate based on anything MtG related besides that their playing area was large and looked very clean and tidy. Only complaint is the the staff wasnt the friendliest and seemed way more interested in conversing with the regulars than with us. But other than that I think we will definitely be back just for the great selection of games if nothing else.
Owner was nice. Clerk was monotone but not hostile. Lots of variations of board games, plenty of role playing books. Table for games.
Patty is very helpful and friendly. Its obvious she cares about her customers. She helped me pick out games, knew everything about them and also suggested times I could come back and meet people who played things I like. Great selection and reasonable prices. Highly recommend!
I’ve had a couple months to test my theory and have found, without a shadow of a doubt, the store owner (male specifically) is racist. When you stand at the counter for almost 30 minutes and don’t get helped it just a seems like poor customer service. However, if you are white (or have a pale complexion) you get helped INSTANTLY.
Go there every Thursday for mtg drafts. People are nice. Staff (mostly Dave and Patty) make the store feel like home and have given me and my dad so many good deals and offers. The always help us when needed and are nice and funny all the time. I highly suggest checking them out. They are the coolest. If your in the area and you are in to mtg net runners or just want to pick up a board game for the family and kids. This is your place no other like it five stars for my favorite shop
Great spot. Good selection
This is one of the most laid back and welcoming place. I love the amount of games they have there as well. Awesome selection.
This place is the best. They have an incredible selection of board games, miniatures, and card games. The owners are two of the nicest people I have ever met. And the people that attend tournaments such as fnm are always really friendly and welcoming. This is just one of the best stores around
This is a fantastic place to pick up a new card or board game, a nice set of dice, or browse some time away. The owners are friendly and knowledgeable. I havent found a game yet that they couldnt talk about in detail and answer questions about. Often theyll pull out something and play with you for a few minutes if they have time. Delightful people... I hope they stay in business for many years to come!
Lots of selection, awesome help from the nicest owners you will ever meet.
Tons of board games and RPG stuff. They also have events and space for groups. They always have special edition D&D books, which is the main reason I go in. The few people I always see working here are super friendly.
VERY friendly staff! Had demo games set up and ready to go, and even had a kid teaching kids games, which was fantastic - first time my daughter stayed busy enough to let us shop and try games. Selection is fairly good - what they dont have they were more than willing to check on, and even took notes if people were asking. So much better of a shopping experience than the outpost on the west side.
Support local. Owners are extremely knowledgeable, friendly, and supporting the local gamer community. Wish more places like this.Offers a very very wide assortment of games, tournaments, events and parties. Also, they offer room to play which is great because not everyone has the ability to host large groups.
Fairly standard in terms of board games, prices are certainly higher than average, selection is decent but not significant. Staff acknowledges you upon entrance but you dont hear from them afterwards, which is either good or bad depending on your perspective.
Great local game store, particularly for tabletop gaming. One of very few stores around with a broad and always updated stock of Pathfinder and D&D books, as well as miniatures and accessories. The owners are really friendly and helpful.
Great selection of tabletop games, which is what we went in looking for, we will definitely be back in the future because we want to support a small business and its nice to be able to look at things before you buy. Do not expect help from the employees though, we had a few questions about a popular game being suitable for gateway gamers and all we got was, I dont know. It does very well for us, a lot of people buy it. Oh well... Left us feeling like we were on our own for advice.
Local business with great owners. Super friendly and always willing to speak with customers. Huge selection of table top and board games.
Great selection! Knowledgeable and friendly staff!
Friendly shop and great selection of games. Staff is always happy to help and they have a large area dedicated to game playing. Have a good range of board games too so its not just for tabletop games.
A friend recommended this place and it did not disappoint! Great staff - nice and knowledgeable - there is a distinct quality to a store that has stayed in business for over 30 years. The are accommodating, organized and clean! Wish I had one like it close to me.
Game Depot has a great atmosphere. The staff is friendly, knowledgeable and always willing to help. They know the industry and stock great titles.The customers are great too. There are a lot of regulars but everyone seems to go the extra mile to make new people feel included. I purchase almost exclusively from Game Depot because it is important to support great local businesses. This is a store for gamers run by gamers.
This is about the best FLAGS (Friendly Local Area Gaming Store) Ive been in as far as role playing games go. The store is well stocked with the latest stuff. The couple who runs the store are really nice. I moved up to North and buy most of my stuff from Game On in Prescott now but when in Tempe I always make it a point to stop by.
Great local hobby shop! Awesome supplies and games. Love all my trips into this place. I always find something!
Been going here for years, my favorite place to buy games
Three words: Patty and Dave. Setting a very high bar for FLGS nationwide, Patty and Dave regularly provides the best customer service possible for all their customers.Patty and Dave offer a vast library of games in their store. They also know their stuff - ask them and theyll tell you about games that best meet your gaming groups interest.Yet what makes Game Depot an awesome place is not just the board games. Its about the relationships. Ive known people that have shopped at Game Depot for years - myself included. Each time we leave the store, we felt that we didnt just visit a game store. We felt that we just visited a friend.From hosting regular gaming events throughout the week, all the way to helping others above and beyond board games, Patty and Dave define what a Friendly Local Game Store truly means.
Great atmosphere and friendly staff. Very excited to shop here for my gaming needs in the future!
Board game heaven. Carry a variety of board games, Dungeons and Dragons, campaigns, and figurines. They had a massive gaming circle going the weekend I was there.
This is the only location in Phoenix we give our business to. We love the owners. They always have a great selection of games and plenty of events happening.
The Game Depot is the best place in Arizona to find board games and people to play with. The owners, Patti and Dave, are extremely knowledgeable about the games, and can help people find games that are a great match with their interests. One part of the store is set aside for tables where customers can play games, so its a great community too.
